Well...hello there ;)

I am not sure how these things work but I got inspired by a friend from high school, so I am going to give this blogging thing a try.

I am the type a girl that has a lot to say and lately I have been feeling like I need to document my life, not necessarily share it with the world (even though I clearly am now), but so that one day I can reflect on my life and remember the little things.

As for my blog name, it is simple.  Throughout my life, I want to "keep faith". Yes, in God (no I am not going to preach at you by any means), but also in myself, my marriage, in my career and in my relationships.  

For starters, I am a military wife, Navy to be exact.  I married my sailor on July 16, 2011 in Pickens, South Carolina (home).  We now live in Honolulu, Hawaii with our dog, Jake.  I am a full-time preschool teacher at the base CDC, as well as a full- time student.  

My life has always been crazy, but lately it has been even more crazy.  Within the past few months I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polysistic Ovary Syndrome).  There is a lot that happens to you when you have this, but the main thing is weight.  I have literally gained 15 pounds.  Considering I have been the same size since 9th grade, I was kind of pissed when I started gaining all of this weight and didn't know why.  Well, now I know.  So for the few of you that commented on my weight, (you haven't a lick of class, tact, and you are very rude)here is your explanation  not that I even owed you one. well there isn't much I can do about it. Before you start...yes, I do work out and yes I try to eat the best I can but this is different.  

Since school has let out, I have been trying to deep clean parts of the house and craft. We live in base housing and our downstairs bathroom gets on my nerves.  The tile is old (you can tell, even though they "renovated" this house) and it has grout between the lines.  I have literally tried everything to get this junk out.  The other day while on Pinterest I saw a blog about cleaning, while I scanning through, I saw that it recommended that you use Clorox Toilet Cleaner.  I did and IT WORKED! FINALLY!  I wish that I took a before and after, but oh well. 

Speaking of crafting, I recalled my idea for my door the other day at my friend Lynda's house.  I am so in love with it...I won't explain it...I will just show you the picture. :)
